The limit of the expression [tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 12}{x^2 - 3}[/tex]a s x approaches 3 is -1/2
The expression is given as:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 - 12}{x^2 - 3}[/tex]
As the variable x approaches 3, the limit is represented as:
[tex]\lim_{x \to 3} f(x)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\lim_{x \to 3} = \frac{3^2 - 12}{3^2 - 3}[/tex]
Evaluate the exponents
[tex]\lim_{x \to 3} = \frac{-3}{6}[/tex]
Evaluate the quotient
[tex]\lim_{x \to 3} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the limit of the expression as x approaches 3 is -1/2
